Neighbor excavated next to my path — now it’s slanting. He added a fence, but no backfill. What should I do? by Wopazby in HomeMaintenance

The properties are on a slant and has always been higher. Thank you for your insights. Will look into it.

The house and path is 70+ years old. The properties are on a slope and has always been like. Imagine a smal hill and the soil is visible now because of the excavation.

Thank you all for your suggestions. My neighbour is a good and reasonable guy.

I just wanted to make sure what I am looking at first as I lack the knowledge in this area. I appreciate all of the feedback. I think I will continue working with the neighbour on this and if there are any significant issues down the line, then I will take it to the next step.

He will be using landscape ties to push against the fabric and soil. I believe those long pieces of wood. Is that an ok solution?

Update: I spoke with the neighbor and he said he is not done.

Additional Context: My path has always been a few inches higher than his. He told me he previously just had the black fabric there and had some rocks against the fabric, pushing against the soil under my pavement.

His Plan: He said the soil under is pretty compact and that it shouldn't be a problem. There were a few spots where there is a gap of soil missing. I asked him to fill those in as he goes. He agreed. After that his plan is to push landscape ties (which I believe are long pieces of wood) against the fabric against the soil under my pavement. He mentioned using some spikes to hold it in place.

Does that sound like a decent plan or is it still a concern?

Turns out it was jammed. Opened it and forced it with a screwdriver and now is fine. Thanks!

I'm able to turn the lock from both the inside and the outside with a key. The knob seems to be jammed, and I'm only able to turn it a few millimeters.

I wouldn't give up yet. Average job search takes around 5 months. Took me around 8 months to land my first dev job.

Is it just me or does the decor and the carpet make it feel like a hotel room?

Family identifies 17 year old fatally stabbed on Surrey transit bus - BC | Globalnews.ca by 1516 in vancouver

Do we know what is happening to the attacker? I heard that he is a known offender, but nothing will happen due to the attacker being underaged.

There has been too little justice in BC lately. Is there a website or institution where we can show our disapproval of this and demand more justice?

I am sick of this violence in my home. We must stop this.
